This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the tomatillo sauce was a bit too tart. I probably won't make this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well. The chicken was dry and the tomatillo sauce was too spicy. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the tomatillo sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The tomatillo sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I'm sure I could adjust the recipe next time.

This recipe was a little bit time-consuming, but it was worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the tomatillo sauce was delicious. I served it with rice and beans and it was a perfect meal.
